I set 2 money goals in 2023 to improve my finances

One key takeaway after a nearly nine-year career writing about people who are good at managing money is that they have multiple income streams. While there's a cap on how much you can save, there's no limit on how much you can earn. The wealthiest individuals dream up ways to make more money, rather than think about how to tighten their belt.

With that in mind, I came up with two objectives for 2023: diversify my income streams (ideally, create at least one passive stream) and buy my first property (ideally, an investment property; at minimum, a primary residence that I could "house hack" to offset my mortgage). I even wrote about these goals to hold myself accountable
